Thania Garcia Omar Apollo is set to star in Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer,” an adaptation of William S. Burroughs’ 1985 semi-autobiographical novel.
The upcoming indie film, which was revealed as part the Venice Film Festival Lineup on Tuesday, will also star Daniel Craig as the counterculture author’s alter ego and “Outer Banks” star Drew Starkey.
Set in Mexico City in the 1940s — though the movie is said to be shot in Rome’s refurbished Cinecittà Studios — “Queer” follows the story of Lee (Craig), who lives among American college students and bar owners living off part-time jobs and GI Bill benefits following World War II.
The book’s themes touch on sex and drug abuse, with the protagonist becoming infatuated with a younger, discharged American Navy serviceman named Allerton (Starkey).
